... , pp. 72-5, 118; and D. Cardona, KRONOS VII:3 , 1982, pp. 28-35] . However, considering the evidence from the Greenland ice cores, I am not as sanguine as Mr. Carroll about the occurrence of a global catastrophe within the last 10,000 years. Curiously, according to the Pyramid Texts, the ancients viewed a spectacular supernova at the celestial pole. A supernova 4000 years ago is reported as producing a world-wide catastrophe including fire-from-heaven, a great darkness, and a great flood. The explosion was in the constellation Draco, the serpent-that-hugs-the-pole, which according to conventional reckoning was then at the celestial pole. The fire-from-heaven, ...
462. Megalithic Circles and Star Charts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and a rather apprehensive concentration, in Mesopotamia at least, on astral-based predictions. Despite the clear skies that Egypt had, there is no evidence before 2300 BC that the movements of the moon and planets were systematically observed and recorded [44]. The first evidence of observance of the stars to tell time appears in the text in the pyramid of Unas, last ruler of the 5th Dynasty. The end of the 5th Dynasty is dated at 2340 BC. Shortly afterwards, star-clocks comprised of 36 decans (10º sectors) are found on the inside of coffin lids, dating from the 9th to the 12th dynasties (22nd to 18th centuries BC). A star clock is ...
463. Cometary Catastrophes and the Ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... it, or something like it, may have been generally recognized in ancient cosmology. Thus, one may draw attention to the fortuitous encounter with "Mars" (687 BC), the Exodus events (which we date around 1369 BC) and another set of catastrophes around 2100 BC associated with the Great Deluge and the first construction of pyramids and megalithic astronomical temples. We suspect these times at roughly 700-year intervals may have had long-term significance corresponding to encounters with the densest part of the original meteor stream. If this is so, there can be no question of its being a truly exact cycle, for orbital precession will cause considerable deviations. Nevertheless, it is interesting to ...

... its headdress and holding two vertical staffs or rods, was worshipped up until the Europeans conquered the Incas in the 16th century AD. A depiction found on a gourd, carbon-dated to 2,250 BC, indicates the god appeared 1,000 years earlier than previously thought, at a time when Andean culture started building large stone monuments and pyramids and took up irrigation, showing that a complex, organised society had formed. Origin of the Unicorn (Scientific American, November 2003, p. 9) Although the Indus culture, like many others, revered horned cattle, as frequently depicted on seals, other seals and terra-cotta figurines portrayed a mythical unicorn'. Hidden Deities ( ...
465. Late Pleistocene Extinctions: No Evidence for Plato's Atlantis [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... including geologists and archaeologists, on either islands or the sea floor." Who is right? Berlitz's style is rambling and anecdotal. Much of what he says is intriguing, even persuasive, but always the hard evidence is lacking. He gives some details and references, but never any crucial ones. A diver has located a huge underwater pyramid near the Bahamas, but will not reveal its location. An island emerged from the Atlantic ocean in 1882, complete with arrow heads, bronze swords and other artifacts, but was never found again, and the log of the ship which discovered it was destroyed in the London blitz of 1940. Buildings and a pyramid have apparently been ...
466. The Reflective Canopy Model and the Mytho-historical Record [Journals] [Aeon]
... 31) An in-depth study of the mytho-historical record, however, discloses that ancient man placed absolutely no importance on the zenith. It is mythologists, in paraphrasing what the ancients recorded, that have fallen into the trap of representing, or misrepresenting, the north celestial center as the zenith. A prime example of the above comes from the Pyramid Texts which are made to state: "May your face be in the north of the sky, may Re summon you from the zenith of the sky." (32) But the Egyptian word that has been translated as "zenith" is "up-t pet," which literally means "the top, or crown, of ...

... discharge in a tube of low pressure gas causes striations b). these would be shells, seen as rings, in the case of a cosmic body with an electrical charge which is leaking into the surrounding space c). the symbol on an American dollar bill indicates a striking display of St Elmo's fire discharge from the top of a pyramid, probably during the close passage of Cosbod Charging by pressure ionisation An explanation for the ejection of core material from large gaseous planets is the charge separation effect of pressure ionisation coupled with the migration of electrons into the outer regions of the planet and into the surrounding space. As this negative charge is neutralised by incoming positive cosmic rays, ...
... It is over 200 years since Palma burst into eruption, but in 1677 both this volcano and that on Ferro were greatly disturbed, and new parasitical cones were created. 56. Lancerote, another of the Canary group, in 1730 produced various phenomena. Numerous vents opened upon a direct line from north to south, continuing with a new pyramidal rock which rose above the water level. These miniature volcanoes continued in active eruption for the space of three years on the authority of Von Buch, a great part of the island's surface was deluged by lava currents of a basaltic character, and the remainder was buried under showers of scorix and ashes. 57. The Icelandic mountains yield ...

... being at Rahoy, two and a half miles from Oronsay. How did they become vitrified? Surely not by the act of man! On the Isle of Arran are two ancient round temples, and on the Isle of Lewis is an astronomical temple at Callernish, consisting of forty-eight upright stones, a sunk altar chamber resembling the pit in pyramids, in the form of a cross, the point of intersection being enclosed within a circle. The shaft pointing north is 392 feet long, the cross-shaft (or wings) is 141feet, and the diameter of the circle is 42feet. "It is impossible," says a " Prehistoric Annals of Scotland," vol. i ...

... a wine jar from southern France, it indicates how wide the Roman trade network was at this time. By the 5th century the Roman Empire fell when northern barbarians headed south into Roman territory. Gaps in sunspot sightings and high carbon 14 levels in tree rings indicate an inactive Sun which could have cooled the weather, affecting northern harvests. Pyramid Problems Science Frontiers 137, p. 1, 139, p. 1, New Scientist 27.10.01, pp. 40-43 Limestone is relatively easy to cut and shape but there is still much controversy about how the Egyptians cut much harder granite. It is doubtful whether copper tools could have done the job and these are ...
